It would be helpful to have blocks that convert **text to a number** and **a number to text.**

There are existing workarounds for this ([How to convert text to number and vice versa](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-convert-text-to-number-and-vice-versa/1416299)) but they are a little clunky.

This is a good call out, Tatian. 🙌 We’ll run this by the Product team and see about plans for implementing such a feature.
